A Houma store has been robbed three times in the past three months, and Houma Police are asking the public to help track down the culprits.

The Shop N Bag, 7724 Park Ave., was robbed once in August and twice in October, and the robberies share similar circumstances, Lt. Dana Coleman said.

A man entered the store about 11:33 p.m. Aug. 21, took an undetermined amount of cash and fled in an unknown direction. He was last seen wearing a white shirt, jeans and a white rag tied around his face. He is described as being between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall.

On Oct. 21, a man walked into the store about 9:44 p.m. and stole an undetermined amount of money. The robber wore a black shirt, jeans and white gloves. He covered his face with a white mask or cloth, and is described as being between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall.

Then on Sunday, two gunmen entered the store about 9:35 p.m. and got away with an unspecified amount of cash.

One gunman wore a long-sleeved white shirt, and the other was dressed in a long-sleeved black shirt.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call Houma Police at 873-6371 or Bayou Region Crime Stoppers at 1-800-743-7433.
